Background Information A design company is exploring the possibility of bringing to market smartblinds, a smart system for controlling the amount of sunlight that enters a room. After conducting a marketing analysis, there seems to be a niche market for a lightweight and compact system that can automatically adjust itself to maintain a desired level of luminosity in a living area without the intervention of the home user. The d system is installed on the interior side, above a glass window. A remote control or mobile phone app should allow the user to set a desired level of light. At night, the system should shut itself up and reopen as soon as the sun rises or at the time desired by the user. Of course, the system should guarantee all standard safety features of household equipment (for example, smartblinds should not hurt a child that puts his finger in the blinds while it operates, etc.) Assignment The objective of this assignment is to apply systems engineering concepts on the smartblinds case Please answer all questions in sequence 1. Functional Modeling : 4 pts 1.1. Create a context diagram for smartblinds. 1.2. Identify at least 5 key functions of this system and write one or more requirements that covers each function, according to the example provided in class 1.3. Create an A0 diagram (diagram with the key functions) of this system in the IDEF-0 specification language.
